OBJECTIVE: To identify the genetic causes underlying early-onset autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (arRP) in the Spanish population and describe the associated phenotype. DESIGN: Case series. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 244 unrelated families affected by early-onset arRP. METHODS: Homozygosity mapping or exome sequencing analysis was performed in 3 families segregating arRP. A mutational screening was...
